I hate cold coworkers

I hate cold coworkers. With a passion. I walk in, I greet you good morning and ask about your weekend, just trying to acknowledge you. I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE SPECIFIC DETAILS. I DON’T FIND YOU INCREDIBLY INTERESTING. I DON’T CARE TO GET IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE. I am offering you the basic respect anyone deserves. I am engaging in basic social skills. And you sit there. And stare. Like I’m the alien, like I did something wrong. And give me one worded answers. This isn’t even personal, I am just showing you the basic respect anyone deserves. Why are you like this? Why can’t you just engage in basic social skills? And it’s not even that you don’t like to, I don’t even give a shit about that, honestly I WISH YOU WOULD JUST FUCKING TELL ME THAT YOU DON’T CARE FOR THIS. But I keep including you, because I include others that enjoy it. I don’t want you to feel NOT included, which puts me in a fucking spot, doesn’t it? I can’t tell if you want me to do this, clearly, but I can’t leave you out, because that is rude. JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT SO I CAN GIVE YOU THE BASIC MINIMUM RESPECT YOU DESERVE. I AM JUST TRYING TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR EXISTENCE. And if you don’t want that, that is fine! More than ok! Happy to give you the space you like! But for the love of God please just tell me. Please.
